Shade to the shadow study!
With global warming shadow/shade will be a good thing in future.
Seeing this on the Aug 18 city council agenda.
Current zoning: Industrial Mixed Use - 12 stories (IX-12) and Downtown Mixed Use - 12 stories - Urban General (DX-12-UG)
Requested zoning: Downtown Mixed Use - 40 stories - Shopfront - Conditional Use (DX-40-SH-CU)
Approximately 3.32 acres are being requested by ZP NO. 338, LLC to be rezoned. Proposed rezoning conditions provide for a city bikeshare station and prohibit adult establishments, vehicle fuel sales, detention center, jail prison, and vehicle repair uses.
The request is consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
The request is consistent with the Future Land Use Map.
The request is consistent with the Urban Form Map.The North Central CAC voted on the case 7(Y) - 10(N) during the September 10, 2019 meeting. The CAC vote occurred prior to the February 2020 City Council action.
The Planning Commission recommends approval (8-0).

I saw that too and am excited to see it moving forward! I wonder if they’re still planning to build it during these uncertain times. I hope so!
I feel like there were a few votes scheduled today. Anyone know how they went?
Raleigh City Council to consider new development up to 40 stories, 1,400 residential units
https://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2020/09/01/raleigh-city-council-to-hear-zimmer-request.html?iana=hpmvp_trig_news_headline via @TriangleBIZJrnl
can someone give a brief synopsis of the article?
It’s mainly a summary of what’s going on so far. We need to watch for discussion during today’s council meeting also.
According to filings, the zoning would allow for a tower up to 1.74 million square feet with as many as 1,466 residential units, 897,082 square feet of office space, 213,591 square feet for retail and 222,135 square feet of industrial space.
Yeah, the article doesn’t really call it out, but it’s a public hearing scheduled for today. Once that’s complete, they can vote today or push it off again. Assuming this gets approved, I wonder if there’s any plan to start construction in the foreseeable future. You know, or renderings some day even.
I think I’m in love with this idea but the post-Covid world might not be welcoming of close knit housing but who knows .
It sure didn’t bother the post-Spanish Flu world, so I doubt that post Covid19 will be any different. In fact, the Spanish Flu was way deadlier than Covid19 is proving to be.
1400 more residents is a good thing to support a future transit stop adjacent. If this comes to fruition, I wonder what the total resident count would be in that small West>East swath from St. Mary’s to the RR tracks, and Peace to North?
Oh! The traffic!
Oh the (foot) traffic!!!
Who cares about traffic if you can’t see where you’re driving while in the shadows???
About that traffic…
Rezoning passed unanimously even with a hand (after some TIA haggling) from Cox
Awesome. Thanks for reporting back in. I still need to watch it later though.
Now we wait if this project is real or not.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing. I kept looking for an update tonight! Lol
And yeah, to echo @Francisco, I hope this still is actually happening.
